Jesus says, “If you love me, obey my commands.” He ties love to obedience as outward evidence of our devotion. Obedience isn’t about lifeless rule-following—it’s about living with a peaceful, untroubled heart. When we obey Jesus, not out of fear but out of love, we tap into a joy-filled life that aligns with what's truly good. Obedience is really about trust—it’s trusting that Jesus is right about everything. It’s not mechanical, it’s relational, wholehearted, and deeply freeing.

Week 5 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Micah Coate

Jesus said that his disciples would do greater things that he did. Did he really mean that? Do those words apply to us? Let’s discover how God empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things through trust, love, and action.

John 14:5-7

Week 3 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Ryan Miller

The noise and stress of daily life can be overwhelming and is at odds with the inner peace that Jesus offers. That peace isn’t found through distraction or perfect circumstances, but through His presence. We aren’t given a map in life—we’re given a guide. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and we already know enough to follow Him today. So when trouble rises, we pause, listen, and choose to do the next right thing with Him.

John 14:2-4

Week 2 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Derrick LyonsIt’s easy to fear the future, there are so many things that can go wrong for us, our friends, our loved ones… But Jesus gently reminds us, “Do not let your hearts be troubled… I go to prepare a place for you.” That promise isn’t just poetic—it’s powerful and present. This isn’t just abstract theology—it’s a call to embrace heaven as a real, rich, promised future. Let’s trade our vague hopes for a bold, anchored trust in the life to come.

John 14:1, 8-11

Week 1 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Megan MillerThe heart, described as our life’s control center, can be weighed down by anxiety, fear, failure, and uncertainty, but Jesus offers a path to live above our circumstances. His strategy? Go to God, go to people, and go to action. This isn’t about escaping reality in a cocoon; it’s about facing life head-on with faith. Like Peter, we may stumble in hard places, but Jesus meets us there. The journey to an untroubled heart begins by stepping into trouble—with courage, honesty, and trust.

"Amen."

Week 4 of All Things New

Teacher: Megan Stibrich

Amen means “it is true.” But “amen” is not just a mental assent, it is a pledge; it is joining a community and sharing in its dangers and tasks as well as its blessings. For many in the Church, this amen is costly, because it is a “yes” you say with your whole life.

“We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.”

Week 3 of All Things New

Teacher: Devynn Brankel

Becoming a Christian is sometimes marketed as a “Get-out-of-Hell-free” card, or as eternal insurance in your back pocket for when you die. But Jesus’ conception of the Gospel and Heaven was very different than a lot of our evangelical “go to heaven when you die” gospels. How does the richness, resurrection, and resonance of Jesus’ Gospel and Heaven impact not just someday, but this very day that I’m living in? What if Heaven is closer than I think it is?

“We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.”

Week 2 of All Things New

Teacher: Brad Miller

When we are baptized into new life with Jesus, we are also adopted into a new family – a wonderful, weird, crazy family. And what’s both great and awful about family is that you don’t get to pick who you’re related to. As Christians, we are not united by our love of the same music, same political views, socioeconomic class, families of origin, or what we like to eat for breakfast, but rather, we are united by one thing: Jesus. How do we navigate family relationships in the new family of Christ we are a part of? What does it mean to live as a brother or sister in the family of God?

“We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.”

Week 1 of All Things New

Teacher: Derrick Lyons

In most Christians’ heads, “church” is the big building on the corner I go to at 10:00am on Sunday mornings that has a specific name, a specific pastor, and a specific group of people I like to hangout with. But when we confess in one holy Church, we are recognizing the great and awesome reality that “the Church” is a huge transcendental body of believers across space and time, a river of Jesus followers that we join. What does it mean to be part of one Church? And how can we live as a holy Church?

“We believe in the Holy Spirit,The Lord, the giver of Life,Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.With the Father and the Son he isWorshipped and glorified.He has spoken through the Prophets.”

Week 6 of Three in One

Teacher: Tyler Stibrich

The quiet one of the Trinity, we often overlook the Holy Spirit, or view him as a vague power like the Force from Star Wars. But the Holy Spirit is a person – meaning, he’s personal. What does it mean to have God’s personal presence with me and in me every day? How can I let him mold and shape me from the inside out?
